Cake

  • Mild olive oil (not extra-virgin) for brushing pan plus 6 tablespoons
  • 4 tablespoons matzo meal unsalted divided
  • 2 cups almond flour or almond meal
  • 1 cup sugar divided
  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon peel finely grated

Recipe Method

Cake/

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush 10-inch-diameter spring form pan with oil.

2. Line bottom with parchment paper round. Brush paper with oil. Place 2 tablespoons matzo meal in pan and shake to coat; tap out excess.

3. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons matzo meal, almond flour, and 1/3 cup sugar in medium bowl; whisk to blend.

4. Place egg yolks in large bowl; place egg whites in another large bowl. Add 1/3 cup sugar to yolks.

5. Using electric mixer, beat yolk mixture until thick and fluffy. Beat in 6 tablespoons olive oil, then lemon juice, and lemon peel. Mix in dry ingredients.

6. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to whites; using clean dry beaters, beat until soft peaks form.

7. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into yolk mixture in 3 additions. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle almonds over.

8. Bake cake until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Place pan on rack; cool cake completely in pan.

DO AHEAD Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover cake pan with foil and let stand at room temperature.

Sauce and berries/

1. Combine 2 cups sliced strawberries and 1 tablespoon sugar in processor; blend until smooth. Sweeten sauce with more sugar, if desired; transfer to small bowl.

DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

2. Cut around cake; release pan sides. Cut cake into wedges. Serve with sauce and remaining sliced strawberries.
